my bearded dragon is anorexic and i have been force feeding her supplements and veggies and such and…..?

and other things that i got online that are supposed to provide maximum nutrition and electrolytes for bearded dragons that won’t eat.
i force-fed her breakfast this morning, and i usually force feed her again, nights. but tonight she willingly ate a superworm and 3 bites of lettuce, should i feed her any more?
she is 3 years old and has been completely anorexic for about 2 months, and off and on anorexic since birth. she seems to be healthy otherwise. i thought she had parasites, so i bought some preventitive/treatment, and i gave that to her. and sometimes she gets constipated. and some days she seems really lethargic. but most of the time she is fine.
am i doin what i should be doing? we have no reptile vets near where i live so i am just going by what i read online, and also my judgment.
should i feed her again tonight being that she ate a superworm and 3 bites of lettuce?
ANY SUGGESTIONS OR ADVICE WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!

Hi, Im in beardie rescue. I find that most of the constipated beardies I get in haven’t been fed enough greens. They need greens( kale, broccoli rabe, leafy dark lettuce) on a daily basis. Its great that she ate a super and a few bites of lettuce, but if she doesn’t eat enough greens, she will become dehydrated. Then you have a VERY sick lizzy on your hands. You need to make sure you dont overdo the calcium too much can be as bad as not enough. You should get a blender, mix a few worms(wax worms are easiest on the stomach) leafy greens and some carrot pieces, mix up with water or baby food veggies, and feed through syringe if you are trained in it. If not, its best to put it in a small bowl and put a worm on top to draw her attention. You also need to check the cage temp. basking between 100and 110, cool side no lower than 75 and warm side at least 90. Your best bet is to get some bloodwork done at a vet. It may be a calcium issue ,mbd, or another thing that you might not be able to treat on your own. Good luck, and feel free to contact me if you need any help.
